What is the best way to make isk off of mining? I did some high sec mining for a while just while I couldn't pay 100% attention to the screen, and made a decent amount of isk considering. Anyone have any advice as to how I can best benefit from having good mining skills and how much isk I would approximately make?

Currently I am in a Covetor. I can fly a Hulk but I am working towards collecting enough isk to be able to buy one and not worry about losing it. I can equipt t2 strip miners BUT I am still working on getting refinery V (at IV currently) to be able to start training the usage of the crystals.
I am not currently in a mining corp, and so far I have just been playing around in high sec space mining.

Thats actually a really complicated question. I could try to answer it, but you will get much better results if you do some math and read some info on your own.
Here is a great mining guide Halada's guide 3.0
Here is a guide with a lot of great info including a good mining section ISK 3.0
I hope those guides help, be aware they may have some outdated prices so do your own math.
His W button was broken when writing that guide or it was intentional :P So far it's a great guide thank you for sharing it.
Thanks for all the advice. How long do the Giant Secure containers last? Are they like wrecks and such that only last for a few hours?

Sounds like it would be good to find some nice Omber spots and anchor some GSC there. Then I should work on getting a transport ship of some sort, like a badger mark II or something and just fill up the GSC and then come back later and do it that way... Unless of coarse I want to go for the more high end ore and risk losing a ship, but I am pretty happy with low to mid end sort of ore for the time being.
Thanks guys :)

It's certainly not as profitable as I have read it can be. That being said it is nice to be able to set my lasers on go and then just come back and check occasionally on my ship to make sure all is well when mining in high sec. It's not a ton of isk, but it's a lot of isk if you weigh it on a effort to isk scale.
I have a ship that I can solo IV's already with and I am really just looking to be able to have a change of pace or to be able get isk when I can't devote my attention 100%.
